Arrow Tight Waterproofing: Straight Answers, Real Fixes, in Westwood
Too many contractors in Westwood sell a fix before they've actually confirmed what's wrong. Arrow Tight Waterproofing built its process around the opposite order: inspect first, document what we find, and only then put a number on paper.
Our technicians carry thermal cameras and calibrated moisture meters to every inspection, because guessing at a foundation problem wastes your money and our reputation. That's the standard for every job in Westwood, residential or commercial.
We keep detailed job records for every property in Westwood we've serviced, which means if you call back in three years with a question about your system, we can pull the exact specs of what was installed rather than starting from scratch.
IICRC-certified technicians on every job, no exceptions
licensed in KY with full liability and workers' comp coverage
Thermal imaging and calibrated moisture readings before every quote

Warning Signs
Six Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore
Waiting until you see standing water means you've already missed the cheaper fix. These are the early signals our crews are trained to catch in Westwood.
01
Efflorescence on Basement Walls
That chalky white residue on concrete or block isn't dirt â it's mineral salt left behind after water has already migrated through the wall.
02
A Musty Smell That Won't Go Away
Odor alone rarely tells you the source, but it's a reliable sign something needs a real moisture inspection rather than an air freshener.
03
Cracks Along the Wall-Floor Joint
Cracking where your floor meets the foundation wall is rarely cosmetic; it's typically the first visible sign of pressure building against the wall.
04
A Sump Pump That Never Stops Running
Continuous cycling means your pump is handling more groundwater than it was sized for, and it's only a matter of time before it fails under the load.
05
Bowing or Leaning Foundation Walls
A wall that's no longer plumb is telling you the soil outside is pushing harder than the wall was built to resist.
06
Rust Stains Bleeding Through Concrete
Iron doesn't rust without sustained water contact, so rust bleeding through concrete is a reliable indicator of ongoing penetration.
07
Peeling Paint or Soft Drywall Near the Floor
By the time drywall is visibly damaged, the moisture behind it has usually been present for weeks or months already.
08
Cold, Damp Floors Above a Crawl Space
Homeowners often replace or service their HVAC system first, only to find the actual cause was ground moisture migrating up through an unsealed crawl space.
Core Services
Our Core Waterproofing Services in Westwood
From emergency response to full commercial systems, here's the range of Waterproofing work our crews handle in Westwood.
01
Emergency Water Intrusion Response
When water is actively entering a property in Westwood, our first priority is stopping the intrusion, then extracting standing water before secondary damage sets in.
Every emergency truck carries submersible pumps, temporary sump units, and crack-sealing materials, so most active leaks can be stabilized on the first visit.
For homeowners in Westwood, we install interior drain tile, sump systems, and crawl space encapsulation sized to your property's actual groundwater load â not a one-size package.
We size every residential system â pump horsepower, pipe diameter, gravel bed depth â to your specific property rather than a generic template.
For property managers in Westwood, we coordinate around occupied units and business hours, minimizing disruption while still delivering a full waterproofing scope.
We provide the same written, itemized proposals for commercial clients as residential ones, with the added documentation many property managers need for ownership or insurance records.
When a foundation issue is structural rather than purely a water problem, we bring in the crack-classification and reinforcement expertise that basic waterproofing crews don't carry.
Every structural repair is documented with before-and-after photos and moisture readings as part of your warranty file.
A waterproofing system is only as reliable as the pump moving water out of it â we size, install, and upgrade sump systems in Westwood to match actual groundwater volume rather than defaulting to whatever's in stock.
Battery backup and monitored alarm options are available on every pump we install, so a power outage during a storm doesn't leave the system unprotected.
The Arrow Tight Waterproofing Standard, in Westwood
Every waterproofing company claims to be the best. Here's what we actually do differently, and why it holds up under scrutiny.
Upfront, Itemized Pricing
Pricing surprises are the single biggest complaint we hear about competitors, so we built our proposal process specifically to eliminate them.
Fast Local Dispatch
We don't run a single centralized dispatch queue; regional staging means the crew reaching you in Westwood isn't driving hours to get there.
Satisfaction Backed in Writing
If something about the completed work doesn't meet the scope we agreed to, we return and correct it under the warranty terms, in writing.
Commercial-Grade Materials, Every Time
We install the same membrane specification, pipe schedule, and pump ratings on residential jobs that commercial contracts require â never a downgraded consumer-grade substitute.
Diagnosis Before Recommendation
A diagnosis-first approach costs us more time per estimate, but it's the reason our repeat-callback rate is a fraction of the industry average.

04
Installation & Warranty Documentation

"Had a cove joint leak that two other companies just patched without explaining why it kept happening. Arrow Tight Waterproofing's technician showed me the moisture readings and traced it to hydrostatic pressure, then installed drain tile that's held through every storm since.That's the kind of fix that actually holds up."
R. â Homeowner, Westwood
â â â â â
"Called at 11 PM with active water coming in during a storm. Live person answered immediately, crew was on-site within the hour, and they had a temporary pump running before starting the real diagnosis.That's the kind of fix that actually holds up."
K. â Emergency Client, Westwood
â â â â â
"We manage a small multi-unit building and needed the work scheduled around tenants. They coordinated everything cleanly and the commercial-grade membrane they used has zero callbacks two years later.That's the kind of fix that actually holds up."
T. â Property Manager, Westwood
â â â â â
"Appreciated that they didn't just sell us a package. The inspection actually found the real problem â a bowing block wall â and the carbon fiber reinforcement plus crack injection fixed it properly instead of just sealing the surface.Would recommend them without hesitation."
M. â Homeowner, Westwood
â â â â â
"Sump pump had been cycling nonstop for weeks before we called. They correctly diagnosed it as undersized for our actual water table and upgraded it â no more constant cycling, and it's kept up with two heavy storms since.Would recommend them without hesitation."
D. â Homeowner, Westwood
â â â â â
"We're a small property management company and needed drainage work done across three units without disrupting tenants. Arrow Tight Waterproofing scheduled around occupied hours, communicated clearly with residents, and the itemized invoice matched the original proposal exactly.That's the kind of fix that actually holds up."

FAQ
Straight Answers About Waterproofing
Standard inspections are typically scheduled within a few days of your call; active emergencies get same-day priority dispatch in most of our coverage area.
Yes â every job gets a written, itemized proposal after a real on-site inspection, and that number is what you're invoiced, not an estimate that grows once work starts.
Emergency response covers active flooding, sudden sump failure, and burst pipe water intrusion â we stabilize the situation first, then scope the permanent repair.
Interior drainage manages water after it enters at the wall-floor joint; exterior waterproofing stops it from reaching the wall at all. Our inspection determines which fits your specific situation.
We document every job with photos and moisture readings you can submit for any claim, regardless of what your policy ultimately covers.
Timeline depends entirely on scope â we give you a written schedule estimate as part of the proposal so there's no ambiguity going in.
Always an in-person inspection â we don't quote sight-unseen, because an accurate scope requires actually seeing the moisture pattern and access conditions.
Warranty terms are documented and registered to the property address, with a clear process for filing a service claim if anything comes up.
We provide Waterproofing services in Westwood, with regionally staged crews that keep response times reasonable across the footprint we serve.
For the initial inspection, yes â we need access to the affected area and it helps to walk through what we're seeing together, though the visit is usually under an hour.
A patch treats the visible symptom â a caulked crack, a coat of sealant â without addressing why water found that path in the first place, so the same issue often resurfaces nearby.
Some clients ask us to speak directly with their adjuster about scope and materials, and we're glad to when it's useful for a claim already in progress.
